Bes; Way to Apply Poultry Manure.

Best Way to Apply Poultry Manure.
If every farmer and every keeper OF
fowls, even on city lot, only knew how
valuable poultry droppings really are
not n handful of them would ever be
allowed to go to waste. A single table
spoonful where needed will make a
thrifty hill of corn, where, without it,
there might be only sickly growth Of
puny stalks. Prof. Voelckcr, of the
Royal Agricultural Society of England,
advises as the least expense and the best
way of using poultry manure to mix it
with dry earth, and the like into COM
post. Mixed with about twice the guam
tity of dry, earthly matters Of this kind,
it will soon be reduced into a fairly dry
and powdery state, in which it may be
readily sown broadcast or with the drill,
and found useful in growing any kind of
garden vegetables. For root crops, such
as turnips, carrots and mangels, it is adj
vised that poultry manure is mixed, after
reducing to powdery state, with an
equal weight Of superphosphatc, and the
mixture drilled in at the rate OF 500
pounds to the acre. In making poultry
manure into compost with earth, Prof.
Voclckcr warns against mixing quickIimc
with it, as the effect would be to libcratc
the ammonia, the most Of which would
escape and be lost. On the other hand,
he recommends as positive advantage
mixing SCOT with this compost. In the
absence Of soot the next best thing, in
his opinion, is to mix in burnt plaster to
which small quantity of superphos-
phate is added the free acid of which
will eventually prevent the escape of
ammonia. A mixture of two parts burnt
plaster and one part supcrphosphatc may
be kept in readiness to mix with the
fresh chicken droppings for the purpose
of absorbing the excess Of moisture and
thus facilitate its being reduced to dry
and friab.c nature. Three parts of fresh
chicken manure and one part of the pre-
ceding mixture of burnt plaster and
supcrphosphatc if kept under cover for
few days and turned once or twice dur
ing the time, and then passed through
screen or scivc, will be found to be more
eflicacious when applied at the rate of
from GOO TO 800 pounds to the acre.

SELF-PROTECTION.

For many years, as THE DEMOCRAT has
several times remarked, Western cattle
interests nave suffered from the efforts of
certain inimical Eastern capital. This
capital has been concentrated in the
leading Eastern markets for an oppressive
and interested purpose. By this means
Eastern operators have been enabled to
dictate to Western growers, and the mar
gin of profit which naturally belonged to.
the producer has gone, as plunder pure
and simple, to swell the bank accounts
of these Eastern cattle sharks.
As means of self-protection has been
formed the American Trust Company, of
which an account was given some time
ago in THE DEMOCRAT. This company
has met with much criticism, both favor
able and unfavorable. AS a western or
ganization for the protection of western
interests, the Denver NepS thus comes
to the defence of the Trust Company:
The Trust company declares that prime
uOGlVe OF Ine IruSJ is 10 eStaDllSl open
markets for cattle. where there shall be free
| competition in buying and selling. The
most enterprising business men in the range
| country have either associated themselves
with the movement or are engaged in MAX
ing the necessary arrangements. Every
stock owner that joins is an additional guar
| antee that the Trust will be conducted in
the interest of all stock growing. Another
guarantee is found in the personal standing,
the integrity and responsibility of the men
who represent the ranges in the project.
Time and experience alone will establish
the favorable or adverse influence of the
Cattle Trust upon the general interests of
production. Should it verify the fears of
some by adding more to the number of op-
| pressive monopolies, it will not take long to
discover the fact. 1t does not seem reason
| able that powerful combination of cattle
growers should find it to their interest to op-
press the business of growing cattle. The
Trust appears to have made fair start, not
withstanding liberal share of unfriendly
criticism. People who are concerned in the
facts are not likely to be Influenced by strict
| ures plainly labeled with their real purpose.
For instance, when st. Louis paper ends
an article prophesying only evil as the re-
suit of the Trust, with the statement that
''the success of the ENTERPRISE would be
death to st. Louis as cattle MARKET" the
| inspiration of the article is apparent.

THE FAIRCHILD BURLESOUE.
This is the way the Kansas City Times
puts it:

This is the way the Kansas City Times
puts it:
If General Fairchild does not feel like a
fool it is because he is too much of a fool to
know it. What a burlesque of sentiment;
what tearing of passion to tatters; what a
laughable exhibition of sham heroics The
Government has, with carelessness which
is by no means lnfrequent, kept the flags
turned over by the States in boxes stored
amid the mould and dust of attic or cellar.
The War Department desiring to have them
placed where they could be taken care of,
issued an order to return them to the States.
Nobody seems to have thought much about
the matter, or to have had any purpose
beyond looking after the preservation of the
flags.
But the war can never end with those
whose only held on the attention of their
fellow-men is the fact of having been in an
army. 1t is not that the Union was saved
but that they, the Fairchilds and the
Tuttles, were in the war. They seem to Civ
their whole time in watching for chances to
yawp, and thus let people know they were
soldiers for a year or two, Dignity, court
esy, generosity, they know not. The self
restraint of gentlemen they have never at
tempted to understand. Having nothing
but army records to travel on, they play the
e1soldier racket for all there is in it. Do
they not protest too much? Is not man
who shows consciousness of his fights
something of coward by necessity? Is not
man who retains envious hatred of a de-
feated foe for twenty-five years not only
ignorant but apprehensive? Is not a
brave man fair and generous? These
fellows are the ones who hated
Grant because he treated Lee as a gentle
man treats another. They hate to hear of
prosperity in the South. They hate to think
the South is not barren waste with only
hollow-eyed women mourning and starving
over the graves of dead men. They could
not wait to hear what Mr.. Cleveland had to
say. Not being gentlemen they could not
understand that at least coldly decent re-
spect was due to an official act which was
evidently part of routine, and did not con-
tain the suspicion of wrong purpose.
They could not remember that the Presi
dent was Union man as strong as them
selves There was a chance to yawp and
they yawped.
Mr.. Cleveland was no doubt astonished
when he read Fairchild's blasphemous out
cry yesterday. Like a sensible man he pro-
ceeded to look into the matter and see what
it all amounted to. His subsequent order
showed his personal feeling as well as his
opinion, and made Fairchild's heroics sound
fiat. What will the next yawp be?

IRELAND'S CROSS.

lreland's new cross is about ready for
the CALLED and bruised shoulders which
have borne SO many similar evidences OF
her endurance and England's shame
The Infamous Coercion bill must become
law within very short period, and Ire
land must bear this the latest burden as
best she may.
As the bill approaches its final passage
in the Commons, there is demonstrated
more fully the strength and cruelty of
the old English tyrannical leaven. At
the last division there were 3S6 votes in
favor of the measure. This is significant
when 1t is remembered that outside pre-
vious Government strength has been only
S02. In other words, as the bill has ap-
preached the decisive stages, the Irish
members have been Systematically de-
serted by their English liberal allies.
This is the old and weary result. When
Ireland leans on English justice and
sympathy she leans on a broken reed.
When it comes down to business England
can safely be counted on as unit against
Irish rights. England has SO long rul ed
Ireland as conquered province that the
conqueror's methods are ingrained in
English legislation. English rule would
not be itself unless the English sword
was cast into the scales of Irish justice.
Passive endurance, time and the SYM
pathy of the world are henceforth Ire
lands only allies. The Irish courage
must henceforth be moral courage. She
will triumph in the end, but that tri-
umph must be purchased by patience in
weary waiting.
Ireland must suffer and be strong.
With the measure of her suffering will
come the measure of her strength. The
when it does come will be final
and glorious.

CHURCH STATEHOOD"

1t appears that the Mormons base their
hopes of Statehood for Utah upon a
public remuneration Of polygamy, accom-
panied by a solemn pledge that such
remuneration shall be complete and final.
When was the Mormon Church ever
known to voluntarily renounce anything
savoring of either the lust of the
body or the lust of power? When
was the Mormon Church ever
known to keep a pledge given
either Of its own accord or forced from
it? Admitting for the sake of the argu-
ment that this polite perjury (for it can
be nothing else) attained its object, and
Utah became State. 1t would not be
Utah who was thus invested with the
sovereign powers of Statehood. 1t would
be the Mormon Church. From the
Mormon Church would spring
all of the State laws of Utah.
The voice of the Tabernacle
would be the legal voice. The statutes
would be dictated by bishops, elders and
prophets" The priesthood would legis-
late. The statutes of the Book of Nor
mon would be the statutes of the State.
Mormon revelation would be American
law.
Who can doubt what would be the re-
suit of this domination of State by
Church. Bigotry would be the spirit of
the statutes. Intolerance would direct
their application. He who was not OF
the Church could not be of Utah. He
who was not a Mormon could not be
citizen.
Retrogression, that genius of the
Mormon:Church, would be involved. The
old days OF the persuasion of blood would
come again. The DANTE, the midnight
coffin, the ambushed assassin would be
again figure as Utah
ways and means. This is what Utah
at present foreshadows; this is
what sovereign Church power means.
But Mormon statehood will never be.
Sovereign power will never be conferred
upon the Mormon Church. The Ameri-
can people as body are well acquainted
with Church characteristics. They
we'll know the dangers attending
the admission Of Utah under Church
They do not propose to
invoke such dangers. The Congress of
the United States will never confer State
hood upon Utah as long as Utah is under
Church domination. Such an act would

A REPUBLICAN CONUNDRUM.

A Republican exchange wonders "why
there should be such widespread and
spontaneous opposition TO Mr.. John Sher-
man as candidate for the Chief Magis-
tracy"
The "Chief Magistracy" itself holds
the secret the Republican exchange is so
anxious to penetrate. The Chief Magis-
trate of the United States must represent
the entire nation. He must have at
heart the welfare of the people as a
mass. Mr.. John Sherman does not fill
this bill. He is not a representative
of the people. He dees not look to the
good of the Nation as Nation. He is
the representative of party-the ex-
ponent of sectionalism. This is the ex-

legislation against polygamy that it
might see fit, provided that its enact

The exhibition represents private enter

On some accounts it is fortunate that the
contest in Chicago assumed the phase it did.
The strength Of the Socialists in that city
has heretofore been matter Of speculation
the vote Of Tuesday fixes it with great ex-
actness. The people of Chicago now know
just how numerous are the followers of Most
and Snies, and can more accurately than
ever before estimate the danger that threat
ems them. Compared with the total voting
population the Communistic vote is small, yet
1t is large enough to give the friends of law

Up to the time that the bombs were ex-
